Joshua Magee, 32, and Masairi Rodriguez, 27, both of 89 Ash St., were scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday in Fall River District Court on charges that include unarmed robbery, breaking and entering into a vehicle nighttime for felony and larceny under $250.

Police allege Magee and Rodriguez were the two people who confronted a woman after she rear-ended their vehicle in the McDonald’s drive-through at 300 Plymouth Ave. around 12:50 a.m. on Aug. 5.

The woman said a black man and Hispanic woman got out of their vehicle and began yelling at her. When the woman got out of her car to exchange information, police said the Hispanic woman — identified as Rodriguez — approached and hit her. Rodriguez allegedly then took the woman’s purse and returned to her vehicle, police said.

The alleged victim said she ran over and got her purse back, but noticed that her wallet was missing. When she asked for the wallet back, Magee allegedly put his car in gear and drove off, police said.

The alleged victim was not injured, police said. Witnesses said the suspects left the area in a station wagon.
